WASHINGTON, May 25-The visit of
Editor O'Brien TO the Dominion of Canada
Is not likely 10 result in great deal of
good to the cause of the Irish people, if
Canadians are to be believed. A gentle
man who resides in Ottawa, and who is a
sincere friend of the ParDeII party is now
in the city and was seen by your CORES
pondent to-day, relative to the visit of
Mr.. O'Brien. This gentleman said: 81
cannot conceive how man with the in
telligence with which Mr. O'Brien is
credited could have been led into such a
foolhardy crusade. The Canadians as a
rule sympathize heartily with the cause
Of home rule, but there is no people on
earth more loyal than these same Canadi-
ans. They cannot possibly alter the
treatment which Lord LansdoWne &C
cords 10 his tenants, and it seems bsurd
that any sensible man should think that
he can accomplish any good for
the oppressed tenants on MS lord
ships estate by 'agitating' in Cana
da. It would be equally as sen
sible to talk in Australia, or for that
matter, il Mexico. Yet Mr.. O'Brien does
notintend to visit either Of those countries.
The fact is that this gentleman Is ia6Orin9

the Col nists are ripe for any kind of
revolutionary talk. He IS greatly mis-
taken. The people Of Canada are con.
tented, and although they are willing to
give Literally Of their means to aid
the cause of freedom in Ireland they
are not anxious to listen TO absolutely use
less agitation. 1t is because Of this feel
ing OK content that the people of Toronto
r.r TO sgaaE,.-
tor. II ne had come to ask for money 10
aid the eViCted and oppressed tenants he
YOU'D have been cordially received and
his speeches would have met with re-
SpeCtful attention and liberal responses.
As il is, the great Liberal organ of Can
adv, than which Ireland hiss no more
staunch friend, the Toronto Globe, depre-
Gates the uu8isiOm OF the visit r"hich is
solely for the purpose of creating feeling
against LansdOWne."
